    Great service, tasty dish, delish coffee (salty coworker Ambiance - Speak a litlte louder than inside voice for your table conversations. There is a readon this place is continuously packed (rsvp is allowed before arriving). Great spot for brunch, only open until 3 on Sundays.

    I just wanted to give a big shout out to my all time favorite eatery CAFE JAVA. The place would I can enjoy a good cup of Joe. Eat a variety of yummy food. All served up by the best staff ever!! All in a quaint sized restaurant with the great Austin appeal. I MISS YOU!! I love my new home in San Antonio, but some places I miss. Like CAFE JAVA

    It is a cute "diner style" restaurant. It feels like home the moment you walk in. What I love the most is they have so many speciality coffee options. If you work remotely, and want to get out to get some work done, I would recommend Java. They also have a small area outside for sitting.

    The Java, subbed toast for biscuit

    One of my favorite spots in Austin. This location specifically. The staff always attentive and friendly. They always have great specials listed on the chalkboard in the back of the restaurant. My go-to breakfast is their house coffee and the java special. I like to sub the toast for biscuits and add a small side of gravy. They also have free Wi-Fi that works really well if you want to come in eat, have coffee and work a bit. Anywho, anytime I'm on this side of town, This is my go-to spot no matter what.

    I'm rarely up in North Austin, but recently had the opportunity to try this neighborhood spot. My date told me he's come here several times already, and I would later find out that it's popular! Luckily we got there before the lined formed, and got seated in their last cozy booth table. The coffee menu intimidated me as someone with regular choice paralysis at specialty coffee shops. They have multiple seasonal options as well as signatures. I decided on the hot cookie butter latte because it was chilly that morning (funny considering 7 days later it's way hotter). For food, I asked the server's opinion and he suggested the Greek Omelet over the Ham & Cheese. What a perfect recommendation! I got my hashbrown AND pancake fix (thanks to my date who shared his sides), because we don't have Waffle Houses in Austin. I also wanted to spread my biscuits with peanut butter instead of the tableside fruit jams, and our server again helped out & delivered a sizable small tub of peanut butter. I felt bad that I couldn't use all of it but whatever brand they have, I need it! Overall, this experience reminds me of the brunch places I used to go to all over Atlanta. I'm not sure if the influencers have found this yet - I hope they don't. It's so uniquely neighborly and old timey diner vibes, that their promotion would render it inauthentic.

    I've always enjoyed coming here with my family. It has a neighborhood feel and the service is quick.

    I've come to cafe Java twice now for breakfast and think it's a solid breakfast spot. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food is solid but there's nothing too special about it. I've ordered omlettes and pancakes and they certainly hit the spot but in Austin there are so many speciality restaurants that sometimes a very decent breakfast spot can't compare as strongly. I wish I could rate this spot a 3.5 because it's solid and I'd come back but there's just nothing super special about it. Coffee is good and sweet and lots of fun flavors.

    Love Cafe Java! A very cute and local Austin spot that is always very busy. Wait time is usually 15-20 minutes on a weekend for brunch but it's always well worth it. Think diner vibes and that's what you get at Java! I love their coffee and breakfast tacos as well as their platters. My favorite thing about Java is that the service is always incredible and prices are on the cheaper side

    Came as a place of recommendation. This place was decent, fair prices, good service, fast food. I will say portions are generous. This place is pretty busy, I would say though, for the location, I'm surprised it's so busy. I will have one thing to say though, it's pretty on par with other places I've gone, nothing really special. Does feel like a mom and pop shop though

    On our continued hunt for a cheap and delicious breakfast place we found ourselves at Cafe Java. We've taken their coffee to go many times but never fully sat down so we were very excited. The restaurant does get packed very frequently so we put ourselves on the waitlist through Google. When we arrived we were seated immediately, skipping a line of 5+ parties (it pays to prepare). Upon sitting down we were greeted (kinda, not really) by our waitress who was very low energy and avoidant. She took our orders through a handheld device and didn't lift her eyes up one time during the process. We ordered a corn beef hash platter, the French toast, and cinnamon rolls. Our food came out extremely quickly despite how busy the restaurant was which was nice to see. To sum the food up: it was not good. The corn beef hash tasted like they uncanned it and grilled it for 30 seconds before plating it. The hash browns were average, the eggs a bit below. The French toast was not good, lacking any flavor or real depth to the actual bread, as well as the bacon looked crispy but somehow was not. We had very high hopes for the cinnamon rolls but were met with the laziest excuse for one we have ever seen. The roll itself is large and coated with very little icing and a ton of strawberries (why???). It tasted like a hint of cinnamon and pretty much capped off what we were feeling about the food to that point anyway. Throughout our time there our server didn't check on us once, not even to refill our cups of coffee. When it was time for the bill and to collect her tip was the only time she showed any real enthusiasm to come over. Maybe it was a series of unfortunate events, maybe it was an off day. Either way it's safe to assume we will not be back to try Cafe Java out again.

    Delicious Mexican Latte and great meal

    One of the best cafe in Austin. Breakfast is really good. Service is really good as well. One downside - it's always busy.
